Backyard Blast!

What else to do when you're bored on a summer sunday evening!???

Well here's and idea and this is what happened...

The big boys (Nick, his little brother Luke and my brother in law Josh) decided to cool off by rigging a sprinkler to spray onto the trampoline and since that didn't turn out as fun as they thought one idea let to the next. They ended up making a 50 ft slip n' slide and lathered themselves with dishsoap and hurled themselves down the slick surface. It was hilarious to watch! But of course it's always fun until someone gets hurt which they all did. They each headed into the house with their baddle wounds when the sun went down. I wish I knew how to get a video on here, because it is just too funny to keep to myself, but oh well.

Yeah that was a fall! :)

Mean while the little boys (Xander and his cousin Gunnar) enjoyed following the men around copying their examples. They had a blast jumping on the soggy tramp, and being hurled by there dad's down the slip n' slide. And also enjoyed eachothers company gettin some sun, playin in the pool and in the sandbox!

Every time a picture is taken, Xander screams CHEEEEESE! for as long and loud as possible. Gunnar thought it was fun to do too, so he joined in and together they were bouncing up and down saying, cheese! cheese! cheese! Silly boys!
